Kraken Robotics Completes Acquisition of 3D at Depth
3D at Depth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Kraken. As it transitions to the Kraken brand, it will continue to operate as a trusted partner in subsea LiDAR imaging, complementing Kraken's suite of synthetic aperture sonar and sub-bottom imaging technologies.
'We are pleased to welcome 3D at Depth to the Kraken Robotics team and look forward to offering our comprehensive subsea intelligence solutions to our clients,' said Greg Reid, President and CEO of Kraken. 'Our combined solutions are complementary, enabling us to provide best-in-class technologies to our global customer base across the commercial, defense, and marine research sectors.'
Kraken offers a suite of advanced marine technology products and services to enable clients worldwide to complete complex subsea missions, providing higher resolution data and enhanced endurance solutions.
Products Include:
Kraken Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS)
Kraken SAS is a technology evolution, integrating the capability to perform imaging and bathymetric mapping simultaneously, while delivering significantly higher resolution, range, and the industry's best Area Coverage Rates (ACR). Ranging from mine countermeasures and port and harbor security to infrastructure integrity surveys and broad area habitat mapping campaigns, Kraken SAS provides higher-grade subsea information that reduces the cost and time required to make critical decisions.
KATFISH
Kraken's KATFISH is an actively stabilized synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) towfish system that delivers ultra-high-resolution data of up to 2 cm x 2 cm. The KATFISH towbody leverages articulated tailfins and an intelligent autopilot to compensate for motion, enabling high-quality data collection and large area coverage rates.
SeaPower
Kraken's SeaPower pressure-neutral battery system delivers twice the energy density at 46% less weight in water per kWh compared to traditional oil-compensated batteries. Its exceptional energy-to-volume and weight ratio enables extended, deeper, and more complex underwater operations with reduced recharging needs.
Services Include:
LiDAR Survey
Underwater LiDAR surveys result in comprehensive, accurate data to enable informed decision-making on underwater assets and infrastructure in a cost-effective, low risk manner. Applications include measurement, inspection, diagnostics, and asset monitoring for offshore oil and gas, nuclear, hydroelectric industries, defense and security, and marine science and research.
SAS Survey
Kraken's KATFISH towed synthetic aperture sonar surveys can provide significant augmentation to existing offshore energy and defense survey operations, acquiring higher quality, wider swaths of data at faster speeds than towed sidescan sonar.
Sub-Bottom Imaging
Kraken's Sub-Bottom Imaging services allow you to see beneath the seabed using advanced acoustic technology. Our Sub-Bottom Imager (SBI) 3D data provides a clear understanding of subsea lithography and hazards, decreasing the risk of your offshore operations.
Acoustic Coring
The Acoustic Corer utilizes advanced acoustic technology for sub-seabed interrogation, optimizing offshore installation programs. By bridging the gap between geophysical and geotechnical site investigation methods, it delivers a 3D acoustic core with a 14 m diameter and depths exceeding 50 m.

Is It Too Late to Buy Celestica Stock?
Written by Aditya Raghunath at The Motley Fool Canada Valued at a market cap of $33 billion, Celestica (TSX:CLS) is a TSX stock that has been on an absolute tear in the last 12 months, rising close to 300%. Moreover, in the past decade, Celestica stock has returned an emphatic 1,560%, crushing broader market returns by a wide margin. As past returns are not reflective of future gains, let's see if you should own this TSX tech stock at the current valuation. How did Celestica stock perform in Q2 2025? Celestica is a global electronics manufacturing services provider offering comprehensive supply chain solutions through two segments: Advanced Technology Solutions and Connectivity and Cloud Solutions. It provides design, development, manufacturing, assembly, testing, systems integration, and after-market services to original equipment manufacturers and cloud service providers. Celestica serves diverse markets, including the aerospace and defence, industrial, HealthTech, capital equipment, communications, and enterprise sectors, with particular strength in hyperscale data centre infrastructure manufacturing. Celestica stock represents a compelling investment opportunity as the company rides the unprecedented wave of AI-driven data centre expansion. The electronics manufacturing services provider delivered exceptional Q2 results, with revenue of $2.9 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $1.39, both exceeding guidance ranges. The investment thesis centers on Celestica's dominant position in networking infrastructure for hyperscale customers. Its Communications and Cloud Solutions (CCS) segment grew by 28% year-over-year, driven by explosive demand for 800G networking switches alongside continued strength in 400G products. Notably, 800G volumes reached parity with 400G in Q2, with every major 400G customer transitioning to 800G platforms. This positions Celestica to capture market share gains as hyperscalers like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft rapidly expand their AI infrastructure. Management remains optimistic about near-term growth as it forecasts revenue of $11.6 billion in 2025, an increase of 20% year over year. Comparatively, adjusted earnings are forecast to increase by 20% to $5.50 per share. Celestica reported an operating margin of 7.4% in Q2, a quarterly record and expects free cash flow to total $400 million this year. Celestica's competitive moat stems from its globally diversified manufacturing footprint across 16 countries, providing customers with supply chain resilience and geographic flexibility. The company has proven manufacturing readiness with capacity to support $3–4 billion in additional revenue across key locations, including Thailand, Mexico, and Texas. This scalability advantage is crucial as hyperscalers continue aggressive capital expenditure spending on AI infrastructure. Is the TSX stock still undervalued? Analysts tracking Celestica stock forecast revenue to rise from $9.6 billion in 2024 to $19.2 billion in 2028. Its adjusted earnings are forecast to expand from $3.88 per share to $11.2 per share in this period. Today, the TSX tech stock trades at 34 times forward earnings, which is much higher compared to its historical multiple of 10.4 times. If CLS stock is priced at 30 times forward earnings, it should trade around $336 in early 2028, indicating upside potential of 18% from current levels. The secular tailwinds supporting Celestica's growth remain robust. Hyperscaler customers are in early innings of multi-year AI infrastructure buildouts, with recent capital expenditure increases from major cloud providers validating the sustained demand environment. The upcoming transition to 1.6T networking and next-generation AI/ML compute platforms provides additional growth catalysts extending through 2026–2027. Trading at reasonable valuations despite exceptional fundamentals, Celestica stock offers investors direct exposure to the AI infrastructure boom through a proven execution partner with market-leading capabilities, strong customer relationships, and operating leverage at volume scale.
